David,

It would be a lot nicer if RIPs adapted their greyscale B&W = 
BO output to the new 2 and 3 grey ink inksets. Making that 
flow QTR like and use the normal color flow next to it. 
There's no problem when they are loaded with CMYK and RGB 
images next to one another but they behave almost antique when 
the greyscale is translated to BO printing only.
